Papers by Keyword: Surface Plastic Region

Abstract: This study focuses on the surface deformation of thin metal foils caused by friction. To clarify the effect of the relative ratio of surface plastic region to the foil thickness on global deformation behavior, strip drawing tests for ultra thin metal foil with 20μm and 100μm thickness were conducted As a result, different surface deformation and elongation behavior under the same friction condition were observed in different thicknesses. Aided by finite element analysis of the friction test, the contribution of the deformation caused by friction to the foil elongation was investigated and the importance of the friction on material deformation in metal foil forming was demonstrated.
